I have an external hard drive for extra storage. I might eventually get a desktop to transfer photos to a place where I can see/edit them, but for my purposes, the MBA is awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761779 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 09:29:34 +0000 ShootingStar 1761779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love love love my MacBook Air. I have a Pro for work and can't stand it. We originally bought an Air for both DH and I and then we ended up loving it so much a year later we bought a second one to be mine and he kept the original. We have the smallest ones (11" I think). They have the portability of an iPad but the versatility of having a full scale capabilities and keyboard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761688 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 09:01:10 +0000 twodoghouse 1761688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an Air and I like it alright. It's convenient to travel with because it's so light and small. However I don't like dealing with it as my primary computer. I filled it up really fast with photos and that's sort of annoying. It tends to crash when I'm working in Illustrator and InDesign, but maybe that's my individual computer not all Airs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761668 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:55:03 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1761668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was very close to getting a MBA, but ended up getting a Lenovo touch screen instead. It's the same size and I got it on sale so it was a lot cheaper. I really like the convenience of the touchscreen and I don't regret my decision at all. It has taken me some time to get use to the resolution (it's not as crisp as I like) but then again, I could have upgraded, but the price would have been more as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761655 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:51:55 +0000 spaniellove 1761655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I both have them and love them (I'm on my second) but I agree that it's not the right choice if you're super demanding on your machine. I recently gave up my MBP and DH has a 27" iMac for photo editing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761643 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:47:46 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1761643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a macbook. I decided not to get the air because I wanted a cd drive. I love it. My mac was totally worth it. I have had it for two years thus far and still running smoothly. I'm hoping it lasts me the rest of my school years - at least another 3 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761641 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:47:36 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 1761641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have one and love it!!! I bought a cheap external disc drive for the few times I need a disc, and plug it into a monitor and keyboard at home so it can function like a desktop. It's awesome for travel-so light! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761632 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:45:10 +0000 loveisstrange 1761632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he wants a computer with lots of power, wouldn't buy an Air. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761627 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:44:04 +0000 photojane 1761627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband got his in 2012 &amp; still loves it. Super light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761583 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:31:47 +0000 sunny 1761583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my MBA. It is built really well and so light (I have the 11"). Using a small screen did take some getting used to. For a long time I got a little frustrated with how little screen real estate I had. I also run out of storage pretty quickly. I tend to use it more as a "client" and I store documents on my server unless I'm traveling. The SSD makes it super fast though which is a big plus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761578 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:30:25 +0000 bookwormmama 1761578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a referbished air and I love it! I don't really miss the CD drive and it's so light! I've had mine 2 years and have had no issues or wished I had a pro instead </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761561 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:27:07 +0000 snowjewelz 1761561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go for it! I don't have air, but we're mac people at home (desk top, macbook, macbook pro) and I was a PC user before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761556 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:26:05 +0000 LovelyPlum 1761556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I *had* one and loved it...until I spilled coffee on it and killed it. It is a great machine. Just don't get water on it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761553 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:24:56 +0000 Anagram 1761553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister has one that I used to edit my LOs birthday photos when we were down south visiting family. The interface is the same as our Macbook pro, it obviously doesn't have a disc drive, and is much thinner and lighter.</p> <p>I guess it depends on what you use it for--we also recently got a Lenovo Yoga, which is cheaper but the same class--lightweight and good for travel--plus, it's a touch screen and the screen bends totally backward, so you can make it into a tablet type thing for watching movies on airplanes or in the car. And it's cheaper than the Air. </p> [attach=2976/14/n8t3xm.600x489.thinkpad.jpg] [attach=2976/14/n8t3xn.600x337.thinkpad2.jpg] [attach=2976/14/n8t3xp.600x337.thinkpad-3.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761551 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:24:28 +0000 looch 1761551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, my husband is on his second macbook air. He loves them, but I prefer the MacBook Pro. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761536 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:19:57 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1761536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a regular MacBook and I love it. Its definitely heavier than the Air so I think you just have to look at your budget and see whats more important (speed versus size, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761532 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:18:38 +0000 matador84 1761532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a regular MacBook...had it since 2008 and use the heck out of it still. My dad just got an air and loves it. And he is in his 60s! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-macbook-air#post-1761529 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:17:43 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1761529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olive broke Mr. Bee's laptop :crying: and we need one when we're traveling next week.</p> <p>Does anyone have a macbook air? Do you love it? I've never used a mac laptop, but my desktop is still going strong over 5 years later so I thought it was time to make the switch from a pc! </p>
